What is your favorite season? Why is it your favorite?

For me, the best season is fall because of the cooler weather, beautiful colors, and it is a fun time with lots of holidays and time to have fun. The air is fresh, which makes it perfect for going outside and running around in parks or doing outdoor activities also the weather is not too hot or too cold, so it is helpful to be cozy all day long. The trees change colors, making the cities look beautiful. Fall also brings holidays like Halloween where we can have fun and also go to a pumpkin patch, and Thanksgiving, which is it a good time to be family and friends. In conclusion, fall is the best season because there is a good weather, colorful places, and amazing holidays.

In my opinion, young adults should have the experience of living by their own because it helps them become independent. First, they learn to take care of themselves, they need to learn how to cook, pay bills, clean the house and organize. This experience makes them responsible. Second, they learn how to solve problems on their own and manage their time with work, studies and social life. Third, living by their own helps them grow as a person because they face new challenges and become stronger and healthier adults who are prepared to face life's problems. In conclusion, being young and living by their own prepares them for the future and independent people to deal with everyday life's problems.

If you could change three things about the world, what would they be and why?

If I could change three things in the world, they would be: plastic waste, deforestation in the Amazonia, and political corruption. Plastic harms animals and pollutes our water, so using less plastic and more recycling companies would be beneficial for everybody. The Amazonia is a very important forest that cleans our air and supports many living beings, so protecting it from deforestation is essential. Political corruption wastes public money and undermines trust in our governments, so having an honest government would make life more enjoyable for everyone.

Should primary and secondary students be required to clean their schools? Please explain.

In my country, it is not common for students to clean their schools, but this activity can be useful in the future. Many children do not learn to do household chores at home, which means they may grow up without the basic skills to take care of themselves or when they get married in the future. As a result, They may feel insecure or unprepared when they become adults or have children of their own. If schools in my country required students to help with cleaning or small activities like helping with the school yard, it could teach them responsibility, teamwork, and skills. Learning these skills early can help them become confident and independent adults.

Compare and contrast video conferences (such as Zoom or Google Meet) and in-person meetings

# data[].attributes.body
After the COVID-19 pandemic, with people working from home, it has become more common to hear about video conferencing, such as Zoom or Google Meet. Now these two types of meetings are common ways to have meetings. These two ways of having meetings are useful, but they have their differences. Video conferencing online is useful when people are far away, for exemplo, people can talk from different cities or countries and it is easy to share your screen to show documents during the meeting time. However, sometimes the internet connection is bad and it is difficult to continue the meeting. In person meetings are better for connection. You can see the person and feel more connected. People may feel more focused in person meetings without scream distractions. However, in person meetings take more time and planning, for exemplo, need to find a place or drive to the meeting place. In conclusion, video calls are practical and easy, while in person meetings are better for connection and relation. Both types of meetings are important and have great results.

Compare or contrast virtual friends and real friends

Real and virtual friends are both important, but they are not the same thing. Real friends are people we see in person. We can talk to them in person, go to places together and do fun things like hanging out, eating or working out. They could be a good ears when people are having a bad time. In person friends can be the support in many ways.

Virtual friends are people we talk to online or meet online. Sometimes they live in other cities or countries. They may not see each other in person as often or have never met in person, but they can still talk, laugh and share dreams. Technology has made this possible and nowadays many people say that they can feel special or happier with online friends.

This is the case with real friends who also become virtual friends. Even with the distance, they stay connected. This shows that friendship can still be strong, even if they are far away. The internet helps people to maintain strong and connected friendships.

While it can be hard to have online friends because we can’t see them in person, it’s nice to have the opportunity to stay connected and quickly access to them. In-person friends are great for spending time together and disconnecting from phones and the "online world".

Life in high school and college is different, but they have some similarities. In high school, students go to class every day and live with more school rules. The school sets a schedule for them. Teachers always check if students are in class and remind them about homework or tests. Most students live with their parents and are minors age. Parents are also more present in their children's school life.

In college, students have more freedom, some people move to another city because of college or because of their age. Many college students live alone or with roommates. In college, students choose their own classes and the time they want to study. Teachers do not always remind students about homework and students have to remember everything on their own.

Even though there are differences, high school and college help students learn and grow in all ways. Whether it is becoming more mature or preparing for a future career. Both are essential for human beings.

Netflix and Amazon Prime Video are two popular video streaming services. Both give people access to watch movies, live shows, reality shows, etc. Both platforms require monthly payments to access everything.

Netflix was the platform that started to become more successful than the others, as it has been on the market for the longest time. Netflix has many original series from Netflix producer, such as Stranger Things, which was one of the most famous series until now. Netflix is ​​always innovating and bringing new things to the public to attract new people's attention.

Amazon Prime Video is part of Amazon Prime. Prime Video has many movies and series, and you also pay monthly to have access to all the movies, shows, and series. Something interesting about Amazon Prime Video is that if people don't want to pay monthly, they can rent the movie to watch anytime. It also has some popular original series, such as The Big Sick.

Both services are good, but they have differences. Netflix is ​​better for those who want to watch a lot of series in one place. Amazon Prime Video is good for those who want to rent movies just once, if they don't want to pay monthly. But it all depends on what the person wants more, some people prefer to pay monthly for two platforms and have access to multiple movies, shows and reality shows.
